Title: can anyone name the arcade games that appeared in these movies?
Post by: thomascirca on June 14, 2009, 01:31:20 pm
Hey guys,

A friend and I were discussing arcade games that have appeared in movies and we were stumped by two of them. In Terminator 2, John Connor is at the mall playing a flying game. I guessed M.A.C.H. 3 but I don't think that's it (coincidentally, that's the arcade cabinet I'm using for my mame cab). Anyone know what it is? Here's the scene on youtube:

The game I'm talking about can be seen at about the 1:10 mark and onwards. I can't read the name on the back of the chair.

Also, in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (the first one), there's a scene where the kid first descends into the "foot" building and there's kids playing arcade games. The camera briefly focuses on one. It looks like there was a skull on a really long neck going after stuff. That's all I remember... I'll try to dig up a video.

Any help would be appreciated!

After Burner.  I used to play at the arcade.  It's part of the Northridge Fashion Center in Northridge, CA.

The game you see the kid playing in TMNT is NARC.  That skull thing he is fighting is the final boss.

To me, it's always been Northridge Fashion Center.  Sherman Oaks is a different city/town, much more south than Northridge.

So can you guys name what you see?
Missile command (obviously),
the above mentioned after burner,
as John leaves I think I see Space Invaders.
Also seems like Rampage?
And something named Trix?
Some girls playing something that looks like a basketball court?
Behind after burner is I think pinball Live To Ride?
On one cab I see a big Williams logo.
